A finish & a couple of half way throughs!

For you cross stitichers out there - do you remember this? Lanarte produced it as a celebration of the Millennium.My Mum bought for me as a birthday present in 1998, I think. My idea was to have it completed in time to hang it for the beginning of 2000.

Slight problem, 12-13 years on, its still not finished. It is my longest UFO.

2011's goal is to finish it. I still like it very much and would like it on my wall.

Every so often throughout the year I would like you to ask me how I am getting on with it, I need keeping on the straight and narrow! If I don't finish it I will have to pay a forfeit in the form of a giveaway. So don't forget remind me. I have a memory like a sieve, my boss calls me colander girl!

My waistcoat - a short way up the back!

.........and the finish! Washed and dried this afternoon...............and for you pre washers! no prewashing for me, just a couple of dye catchers did the trick, no bleeding at all.

As you noticed I have many projects older than 10 years. I edited my 9-patch post to include some numbers... Now I need to get to work. I love the Millennium cross- stitch. Good luck finishing it.I prewash everything! My Mother made me when I was little and I just continued....
